Meeting the Mayor


Quite a lot has happened this past week. Notably the biggest news is that we have a new semi-permanent place to live till January with a great Kiwi couple, Caleb and Libby, in a nice house downtown that was built in 1890 called Cashel Cottage. Caleb is working on a deck out back that will be great for summer BBQ's. Ryan and I are glad that we have a refrigerator here and Internet as well.

Another major event his week is that Ryan and I both have jobs and have been working for a week. We also set up our bank accounts and irds (tax id's) so that we can now be paid, yeah. I am working as a Barista in the Cathedral Cafe and Ryan is temporarily working for a mail order clothing factory. I am going to learn to be an expert at making long blacks, flat whites, cappchinos, lattes, and other coffees.

We also attended a wonderful church Oktoberfest with Moya's church where we were personally introduced to the mayor of Christchurch by Moya who was dressed up as a clown to hand out lollies (candy) to the kids at the fair.
